Philadelphia — On Monday, Bryson Stott delivered a two-run, eighth-inning homer to lift the Philadelphia Phillies to a 5-4 victory over the Cincinnati Reds, extending the club's winning streak and moving them above .500 under interim manager Don Mattingly. The win followed Mattingly's late-April appointment and was marked by late-game heroics and fan chants. Philadelphia — The next day, Chase Burns and the Reds responded, with Burns striking out nine over six innings and limiting the Phillies to three hits in a 4-1 Cincinnati win. A replay overturned a plate call in the seventh, contributing to a multi-run frame, and the split left both teams adjusting pitching and lineup decisions during the week.
